Summary
Ryan Weathers’ hot start has cooled fast, as his recent outings have been marred by an alarming surge in home runs — a flaw that’s haunted him since spring training and throughout his career. Despite solid strikeout numbers, batters are crushing his pitches, and his underlying metrics reveal a long-standing vulnerability to hard contact. Acquired by the Yankees in a high-stakes trade, his inconsistency and lack of full-season durability raise doubts about his ceiling. With Max Fried returning, Weathers may be headed to the bullpen — but his current slump, especially after such promise, could be a major letdown for the Yankees.
